I left Elk City in 1961, transferring with SWBT to Oklahoma City. Attended OCU night school while working full time and left SWBT in 1964, and worked for GMAC until 1982. Moved to Hot Springs, AR, when my husband, Bob Gosdin, retired. We lived on Lake Hamilton and also kept a boat at the Little Rock Yacht Club in Little Rock. Bob was from Little Rock originally and wanted to live in AR when he retired.
While we were there, Bonnie Hill West transferred with the US Forestry Service to Hot Springs and it was good to spend time with her and get reacquainted. She stayed a few years and the urge to roam hit her again and she moved back west to Oregon this time. We missed her.
After Bob's death in 1993, I felt I should move back closer to my parents as my Dad was terminally ill and I did move back to Oklahoma City in 1994. Sure missed the water, trees, and mountains, but it was the right thing to do.
I worked part time for both SWBT and GMAC after I returned and did a lot of volunteer work. In 1997, I met and married George Hall and later that year started working in his CPA firm. He closed his office in 2005, but he kept all clients that had been with him 30 or more years as well as his investment clients; and he works from a home office. By the way, Billy and Linda Green live one house and across the street from us; no surprises, they are excellent neighbors!
I had no natural children, but Bob had three and George has one so there have been kids and grandchildren around for years. My only sister and mother (age 88 and still pretty active and quite sharp) live in Clinton.
We travel a lot, when work permits and I still do a lot of church and civic volunteer work, have a garden and do our yard work. I don't vacuum; will do windows.
Am looking forward to the reunion; I haven't seen anyone but Billy Green and Bonnie since our 10th reunion. I appreciate all the work Bonnie, Billy W, Jean, and Mary Lynn have done and anyone else I didn't mention.

"Just discovered your product today while trying to locate classmates ahead of our 50th reunion in 2020. The fact that you did this in a noncommercial manner in a world where everything has a price tag deserves recognition and respect, in my view.
Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
